DISCRIMINATION HEALTH RELATED ISSUES

Study shows how discrimination hurts: lack of fair treatment leads to obesity issues - EurekAlert! WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - People, especially men, who feel any kind of discrimination, are likely to see their waistlines expand, according to research from Purdue University. -- "This study found that males who persistently experienced high levels of discrimination during a nine-year period were more likely to see their waist circumference increase by an inch compared to those who did not report discrimination," said Haslyn E.R. Hunte, an assistant professor of health and kinesiology. "Females who reported similar experiences also saw their waistlines grow by more than half an inch. This shows how discrimination hurts people physically, and it's a reminder how people's unfair treatment of others can be very powerful. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-04/pu-ssh041211.php

The Damaging Effects Of Discrimination - Medical News TodayResearchers found that adolescents from Latin American and Asian backgrounds experienced more discrimination than their peers from European backgrounds and that the discrimination came not only from other adolescents but from adults as well. -- The level of discrimination also impacted these teens' grade-point averages and their health and was associated with depression, distress and lower levels of self-esteem. http://mnt.to/f/3JNN

Discrimination Often Leads To Declining Physical Health For Obese Individuals - Medical News TodayThe discrimination that obese people feel, whether it is poor service at a restaurant or being treated differently in the workplace, may have a direct impact on their physical health, according to new research from Purdue University. -- "Obesity is a physiological issue, but when people have negative interactions in their social world - including a sense of being discriminated against - it can make matters worse and contribute to a person's declining physical health," -- "It seems that many people are internalizing the prejudice and stigma they feel, and it contributes to stress, which ultimately affects their health." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/218080.php

The Psychological Impact Of Being Out Of Work - Medical News TodayResearchers from UCLA and the State University of New York-Stony Brook found that out-of-work Americans face discrimination that is unrelated to their skills sets or to the conditions of departure from their previous jobs. -- "We were surprised to find that, all things being equal, unemployed applicants were viewed as less competent, warm and hireable than employed individuals," -- "We were also surprised to see how little the terms of departure mattered. Job candidates who said they voluntarily left a position faced the same stigma as job candidates who said they had been laid off or terminated." -- "To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the psychological stigma of unemployment," http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/221063.php

Why bias puts young gays' health at risk - CNNhttp://www.cnn.com/2013/05/31/opinion/stephenson-gay-youth-health But discrimination, in the Boy Scouts as in every walk of life, brings with it another effect that is left out of the conversation on rights: poorer health. Hiding one's sexual identity and being excluded from activities and social groups causes stress, and research shows this can have a significant impact on health. In her review of the health of gay youth, Tumaini Coker notes that gay youth are three times more likely to partake in substance abuse, and that adolescents who said they felt stigmatized -- for example, in the form of family rejection -- are five times more likely to experience depression.

Stereotypes are often used to hide the cause of homelessness, rampages, and rage shootings. They can also be used against people and to justify different actions or different types of segregation, science is not the place for women, Arabs are terrorists, Italians are in the mafia, mentally ill people cannot manage their own affairs or defense in court for example. Black people sit at the back of the bus and women sit at the back of the bus are more visible forms of segregation. The following posts illustrate the issue and so do the videos at the stereotype section further below.

U.S. Gun Control Debate, Stereotypes In Marc Lepine's case the media focused on an Arab father while the experts focused on homelessness.

For strong daughters, stop with the sex stereotypes When the rocket scientist Yvonne Brill died in March, The New York Times celebrated her as the maker of a "mean beef stroganoff" and "the world's best mother." When my 4-year-old daughter, Ellie, a wildly creative and interesting girl, finished a year of preschool last week, her teachers gave her an award for being the best dressed. -- A few years ago at my son's preschool camp award ceremony, I sat silently as well-meaning counselors called each child forward. Girls: best hair, best clothes, best friend, best helper and best artist. Boys: best runner, best climber, best builder and best thrower. My son won best soccer player. In general, girls received awards for their personalities and appearance and boys for their actions and physical attributes.http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/28/opinion/perry-gender-children Gender Questions Arise in Obituary of Rocket Scientist and Her Beef Stroganoffhttp://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/01/gender-questions-arise-in-obituary-of-rocket-scientist-and-her-beef-stroganoff/

Émilie du ChâteletE ∝ mv² -> E = mc²The physics formula of Emilie du Chatelet is basically the same as the formula for which Einstein is famous for a hundred years later, E = mc². Einstein simply replaced the speed of an object, v, with the speed of light, c, an object. The issue, "science is not the place for a women", was discrimination involved? From what I understand, Émilie du Châtelet out did Newton's, Voltaire, and others beliefs and theories on physics and the formula for which Einstein is famous for is basically the same one that she wrote a hundred year's earlier. She experienced personal tragedies and was recognized ten years after her death. The Discrimination is linked to men and culture "science is not the place for a women" during these periods of time in history.

Acid Violence and Discrimination Against Women in BangladeshIn Bangladesh women and the beauty of a women is an asset, "ownership, property, possession" of women is linked to discrimination, and the destruction of that beauty destroys the asset. "The patriarchal mindset is the reason for acid violence, especially the beauty aspect. If I take this beauty away from a girl, then no one will marry her. So if this girl is not mine, she will not be anyone else's.

Radar Assaults to Destroy Men's Testicles in British Regimes and CanadaBritish regimes function through their secret police, corruption, organized crime, and technology to subjugate the population. Their assault weapons are based on different types of radar and the weaponization of space, which they use in attempts to inflict deadly cancer through repetitive assaults on a long term and aimed at the testicles to subjugate or degrade men.

The key provisions in the law "fails to meet that standard and is therefore unconstitutional." -- "Given that conclusion, the president has instructed the (Justice Department) not to defend the statute" in two pending cases in New York state, Holder said.

Danny Hunt This is what a criminal harassment network and organized crime did to me, a form of assassination attempt through influence of the mind. I was the victim of workplace psychological harassment, depressed, burnout, followed by a criminal harassment network "you have no future, your future is in the garbage, you are eating garbage, kill yourself, hang yourself, the homeless are in the anus, you are in the anus", I felt purposeless, very negative thoughts about the future from this influence, I was led to believe I caused the death of someone when a minor, the brother's voice of this person was used to "bring me down" further, hate, the criminal harassment network influenced my perception and lead me to believe everyone wanted me to die, "I couldn't escape the hate", repetitive suggestion that I should hang myself, sound technology and repetitive suggestion that I should hang myself, psychological manipulation through sound technology and steps that lead to suicide, "make a plan", "call Denis", a last step before the act of suicide, steps and motion towards suicide, and a hanging attempt.

Canadian Criminal Code227. Repealed, 1999, c. 5, s. 9Killing by influence on the mind 228. No person commits culpable homicide where he causes the death of a human being (a) by any influence on the mind alone, or (b) by any disorder or disease resulting from influence on the mind alone, but this section does not apply where a person causes the death of a child or sick person by wilfully frightening him.

Many people see discrimination linked to religion in foreign countries and don't expect it in the United States. The issue is about limiting health care to women based on different views or religion, discrimination. This was an issue during the U.S. health care reform debates and again during the 2012 elections.

MENTAL ILLNESS

The Right to a Trial, Non-Criminal Responsibility Before trial (discriminatory)

"672.12 (1)(3) non-criminal responsibility before trial can circumvent the right to a trial, charter of rights violations presented at trial, make false criminal allegations valid, and make unlawful seizures of private computers legal. The higher courts have ruled that it cannot be used before trial but it remains in the Canadian Criminal Code because organized crime is used to prevent citizens from addressing their charter of rights and having this law modified or removed from the criminal code."

Criminal Code, RSC 1985, c C-46Where court may order assessment672.12 (1) The court may make an assessment order at any stage of proceedings against the accused of its own motion, on application of the accused or, subject to subsections (2) and (3), on application of the prosecutor.Limitation on prosecutor’s application for assessment of fitness(2) Where the prosecutor applies for an assessment in order to determine whether the accused is unfit to stand trial for an offence that is prosecuted by way of summary conviction, the court may only order the assessment if(a) the accused raised the issue of fitness; or(b) the prosecutor satisfies the court that there are reasonable grounds to doubt that the accused is fit to stand trial.Limitation on prosecutor’s application for assessment(3) Where the prosecutor applies for an assessment in order to determine whether the accused was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the offence so as to be exempt from criminal responsibility, the court may only order the assessment if(a) the accused puts his or her mental capacity for criminal intent into issue; or(b) the prosecutor satisfies the court that there are reasonable grounds to doubt that the accused is criminally responsible for the alleged offence, on account of mental disorder.

R. v. Swain, [1991] 1 SCR 933, Supreme Court of Canadahttp://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/1991/1991canlii104/1991canlii104.html "I believe, moreover, that conferring on the prosecution a conditional right to raise the issue of insanity during the course of the trial infringes upon the equality rights of the mentally disabled under s. 15 of the Charter. It denies the mentally disabled, a group in our society which has been negatively stereotyped and historically disadvantaged, the control over their defences reposed in other accused persons and does so in a way which is discriminatory. In denying the mentally disabled personal autonomy in decision‑making it reinforces the stereotype that they are incapable of rational thought and the ability to look after their own interests. In a word, it denies them equality with other accused persons under the guise, putting it at its best, of a benign paternalism. -- It seems to me that the principle advanced in support of the prosecution's right to introduce evidence of insanity can be effectively implemented by having the issue of the accused's insanity raised at the conclusion of the trial in cases where the defences put forward by the accused have been rejected and the essential elements of the offence have been established by the prosecution beyond a reasonable doubt. At that point I think either party should be free to raise the issue of the accused's insanity. I realize, of course, that there is an element of circularity involved in this approach in that insanity has a direct bearing on proof of mens rea. However, I prefer this approach since it both respects the accused's right to waive the defence of insanity and ensures that any resultant prejudice he suffers in the finding of guilt flows from his own decision not to avail himself of the defence and not as a consequence of the prosecution's having raised the issue in the middle of the trial process.

R. v. Langlois, 2005 BCCA 162 (CanLII)http://canlii.ca/en/bc/bcca/doc/2005/2005bcca162/2005bcca162.html[23]In R. v. Swain, 1991 CanLII 104 (SCC), [1991] 1 S.C.R. 933, the Supreme Court of Canada considered the accused’s rights in the context of the operation of the insanity defence under the Code prior to the amendments in 1992 which brought in the NCRMD provisions. One of the issues in that case was whether the Crown could raise the issue of insanity over the wishes of the accused. The Court concluded that the common law rule that allowed the Crown to raise the accused’s mental state before a verdict had been rendered violated the accused’s rights to have control over his own defence. In so deciding, the Court confirmed (at p. 972): Given that the principles of fundamental justice contemplate an accusatorial and adversarial system of criminal justice which is founded on respect for the autonomy and dignity of human beings, it seems clear to me that the principles of fundamental justice must also require than an accused person have the right to control his or her own defence. -- [24]The Supreme Court’s response to its finding was to vary the common law rule to allow the Crown to raise the issue of the mental capacity of the accused only after the court had concluded that the accused is otherwise guilty of the offence — the procedure adopted in the NCRMD Code provisions in 1992.

R. v. Wells, 2004 ABCA 371 (CanLII)http://canlii.ca/en/ab/abca/doc/2004/2004abca371/2004abca371.html[8] The following Criminal Code sections are relevant to the defence of NCRMD:16. (1) No person is criminally responsible for an act committed or an omission made while suffering from a mental disorder that rendered the person incapable of appreciating the nature and quality of the act or omission or of knowing that it was wrong.(2) Every person is presumed not to suffer from a mental disorder so as to be exempt from criminal responsibility by virtue of subsection (1), until the contrary is proved on the balance of probabilities.(3) The burden of proof that an accused was suffering from a mental disorder so as to be exempt from criminal responsibility is on the party that raises the issue.672.12 (1) The court may make an assessment order at any stage of proceedings against the accused of its own motion, on application of the accused or, subject to subsections (2) and (3), on application of the prosecutor.(2) Where the prosecutor applies for an assessment in order to determine whether the accused is unfit to stand trial for an offence that is prosecuted by way of summary conviction, the court may only order the assessment if(a) the accused raised the issue of fitness; or(b) the prosecutor satisfies the court that there are reasonable grounds to doubt that the accused is fit to stand trial.(3) Where the prosecutor applies for an assessment in order to determine whether the accused was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the offence so as to be exempt from criminal responsibility, the court may only order the assessment if(a) the accused puts his or her mental capacity for criminal intent into issue; or(b) the prosecutor satisfies the court that there are reasonable grounds to doubt that the accused is criminally responsible for the alleged offence, on account of mental disorder.672.34 Where the jury, or the judge or provincial court judge where there is no jury, finds that an accused committed the act or made the omission that formed the basis of the offence charged, but was at the time suffering from mental disorder so as to be exempt from criminal responsibility by virtue of subsection 16(1), the jury or the judge shall render a verdict that the accused committed the act or made the omission but is not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder.[10] The Crown’s ability to raise the issue of an accused’s mental capacity is governed by the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Swain. Swain confirmed that when an accused does not want to rely on a s. 16 defence of NCRMD, the Crown may raise the issue independently. By doing so the Crown helps ensure that an accused is not wrongly convicted. However, in order to be minimally intrusive on the accused’s right to control the conduct of his defence, the Crown must wait to raise the issue until the trier of fact has decided the accused is guilty of the offence. If the accused is acquitted, the Crown cannot raise the issue.

GUN CONTROL

The pattern is hiding the cause of rage shootings, why?

"a deranged person" or mental illness is not an explanation for rage shootings, it is a stereotype used to hide the cause of these terrible crimes.

"we urge the media and professionals who participate in speculative interviews about the motives of the accused shooter to refrain from misleading comments about autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. ... (M)isinformation could easily trigger increased prejudice and misunderstanding."

"a deranged person" "too many guns" these are rhetoric to advocate gun control but not the cause or explanations for rage shootings. This actually reenforces a stereotype against people with mental illness that is already abused intentionally by organized crime.

Groups: Autism not to blame for violencehttp://www.cnn.com/2012/12/17/health/connecticut-shooting-autismWhile the motive for this crime is still unknown and may never be fully understood, what is clear, according to experts, is that autism cannot be blamed. -- "There is absolutely no evidence or any reliable research that suggests a linkage between autism and planned violence," the Autism Society said in a statement. "To imply or suggest that some linkage exists is wrong and is harmful to more than 1.5 million law-abiding, nonviolent and wonderful individuals who live with autism each day." -- Peter Bell of Autism Speaks said, "Autism did not cause this horror." Bell, executive vice president for programs and services for the advocacy and research group, is also the father of a son with autism. -- Bell said it's not unusual to want to figure out why someone would commit such a heinous crime, but he also cautioned people to do so responsibly. -- And by definition, he said, people with a diagnosis of autism or Asperger's are not inclined to commit an act of violence. The likelihood of this happening would be no different than the rest of the population, he added. -- Autism spectrum disorders, including Asperger's syndrome, are a range of developmental disorders of the brain. -- They can cause significant social impairments, communication problems and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior. -- It's important for the public to know that the gunman's actions can't be linked with autism spectrum disorders, said Dr. Max Wiznitzer, a pediatric neurologist and autism expert at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland. -- "Aggression and violence in the ASD population is reactive, not preplanned and deliberate," he said. -- In a statement, Autistic Global Initiative Director Valerie Paradiz said, "The autism community has long labored toward building understanding, awareness and trust within communities throughout the United States and the world. -- "As adults with autism living productive, peaceful lives, we urge the media and professionals who participate in speculative interviews about the motives of the accused shooter to refrain from misleading comments about autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. ...

Hidden dictatorships function through their secret police, corruption, and organized crime to control and subjugate the population. The British hidden dictatorship idea is to use cycles of tyranny to concentrate wealth, control money, the jobs, while creating the pretense or illusion of a law abiding and human right supporting country "it's organized crime and not tyranny". The control hierarchy structure is through money, jobs, everyone has a boss, those who do not work should be homeless. The regime secret police, organized crime, uses homelessness to subjugate or eliminate targeted citizens, which is similar to starving the population for control, dictatorships and cycles of tyranny. In Quebec, a province with social programs that permitted the french population to flourish even with the English controlling the money and jobs, they recently began using energy assault weapons, weaponization of space, types of radar assaults from neighboring homes, underground emitters to inflict deadly cancers, destroy fertility, and subjugate those with a secure means of subsistence, those on welfare. This effort to destroy the fertility of those on welfare and those that they target may be linked to ethnic cleansing of the french population after nearly losing a referendum to separate French Quebec from English Canada in 1995. Dictatorships and hidden dictatorships that function through corruption and organized crime advocate a defenseless population, the way the secret police proceeds to do this is by creating justification similar to the workplace, participants, abuse, and strategy. These strategies are mentioned on the Rage Shooting Factors page. I have also noted the same strategy used in Canada and Pakistan, subjugate or degrade, inflict with serious illness, push to homelessness, disfigure, damage the brain, destroy fertility, and may also be using one of the same strategies they use to create justification for gun control, inflict a damage, use provocation, to cause a rampage, gun violence, radicals or terrorists. The point about hidden discrimination is linked to the concentration of wealth, controlling wealth, hidden societies, control, and making education, health care, and even voting out of reach. There is also another problem for the poverty section, "food deserts".

Chic-fil-A, The Freedom of Expression is Between a Man and a Women Only? - (blog)Is the issue of discrimination, equality, and gay rights getting confused with the freedom of expression? Black people were "different", which justified slavery, segregation, etc., women were the "inferior gender", no education, science is not the place for women, segregation, no vote, etc., and just as their rights to equality were a culture shock the gay community has a right to equality too.

Mental Health and Political Action? - (blog)There has been a lot of political action towards women's rights, same sex marriage, but not concerning metal health. The recent U.S. Gun Debate and Newtown act of terror seems to have only created more prejudice towards mental illness, the focus on mental illness as a cause, "(M)isinformation could easily trigger increased prejudice and misunderstanding.". The Obama administration proposed legislation did contain sections to help those with mental illness. Issues regarding creating more prejudice and re-enforcing stereotypes, in Canada the "secret police" currently use a criminal harassment networks and energy assault weapons, different types of powerful radar aimed at inflicting deadly cancer, damaging the brain and brain tumors, focused ultrasound to sleep deprive targeted citizens and to inflict brain damage "burst blood vessels" in the brain or brain lesions. The strategy used by the regime, authorities, and police is the same as workplace employers, denial and ridicule. The cause of rampages and rage shootings are hidden from the general population through stereotypes and usually involves abuse, retaliation or "hitting back", influence of the mind and ideation about "hitting back", the use of homelessness as a weapon, for subjugation. The same is true regarding the repetitive radar assaults "turn or die of cancer", for subjugation, etc, see the Rage Shooting Factors for more on this issue. In Canada it also involves a human rights violating criminal code, non-criminal responsibility before trial. The higher courts have ruled that non-criminal responsibility cannot be used before trial, only at the end of a trial, but it is still in the criminal code and used. Citizens can address any laws that violates their charter of rights and have a law modified or removed but organized crime prevents citizens from doing so for this 20+ year old human rights violation, a broken judicial system.

Right to a Trial - (blog)An illustration of circumventing a person's right to a trial in Canada.

This is what happened to me in Canada's court:

I asked the Police detective what she used to justify her demand for incarceration and a psychological evaluation.

She said it is the one when they find you guilty without a trial and make the unlawful seizure of your computers legal too.

I said are you sure that is the one reason.

She paused, looked at her paper and said no, it is all three reasons, a disability and a no criminal record too.

Mobbing Confusion Strategy

An illustration of a mobbing confusion strategy in Canadian Court proceedings.

I was in court and this is what happened:

"The Crown is trying to be helpful and trying to save you time and money with the assessment order before trial."

"I don't want the unlawful assessment order before trial your honor."

"If you started your day with a good breakfast like coco puffs, frosted flakes they're great, lucky charms they're magically delicious, you'd have brain fog and wouldn't be in all this trouble."

"What?"

"Peasants like you who cause trouble are a threat, next thing you know it is Russia here."

"What? your honor it is the high courts, they have ruled that the assessment order before trial is unlawful, and also a basic human right violation."

"If you do not comply with the unlawful assessment order before trial I have to incarcerate you, what's your decision?"

The strategy consists of adding several issues or topics that make no sense or unrelated to hide the main issue that does not make any sense either, in this case incarcerating a citizen for not complying with an unlawful lower court assessment order.

Human Rights Treaties

The secret police strategy in Canada is to use organized crime "it's not tyranny it's organized crime" to prevent citizens from addressing their rights in court, which includes human rights violations, and blaming the citizens for their failure to address their rights. Canada is the one who signed the UN treaty.

Tyranny, Hidden Dictatorships, "Aggressive Leaderships" - (blog) Stereotypes, discrimination, racism, segregation, hate and rejection are all linked to repression, and control. If you look at past medieval regimes they consisted of defenseless peasants, poverty, and sickness, a dictatorship, control, and "aggressive leadership" strategy. "males are subjugate or degraded for an aggressive "leadership" strategy, control, and hidden dictatorship. Women still not equal in the workplace, the gay community still repressed through hate and rejection." Obesity is also linked to stereotypes and discrimination, and may play a role in this aggressive leadership strategy along with poverty, super sugar added to food, leading to obesity, appearance and a lack of self confidence, leadership, beauty, and vulnerable to focused ultrasound technology. Beauty is promoted for leadership positions.

Acid Violence and Discrimination Against Women in BangladeshIn Bangladesh women and the beauty of a women is an asset, "ownership, property, possession" of women is linked to discrimination, and the destruction of that beauty destroys the asset. "The patriarchal mindset is the reason for acid violence, especially the beauty aspect. If I take this beauty away from a girl, then no one will marry her. So if this girl is not mine, she will not be anyone else's. For land dispute, also, they want to destroy the asset of the family and therefore they destroy the beauty of the girl."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5pfJXmA1SU

Radar Assaults to Destroy Men's Testicles in British Regimes and CanadaBritish regimes function through their secret police, corruption, organized crime, and technology to subjugate the population. Their assault weapons are based on different types of radar and the weaponization of space, which they use in attempts to inflict deadly cancer through repetitive assaults on a long term and aimed at the testicles to subjugate or degrade men. It is an aggressive "leader ship" or hidden dictatorship strategy that is similar to mobbing, lowering others, in this case degrading and inflicting serious illness. They use participants in criminal harassment and influence of the mind to indicate different motives "cutting blood lines", "they are empaths", etc.

In Canada targeted citizens are subjugated through homelessness or energy assault weapons, different types of radar, and focused ultrasound or inflicted with deadly cancers and degraded. The faraday cage is a protective measure along with water bottles to shield from the focused ultrasound.

In Canada the secret police, police, participants, and mob systematically isolate a targeted victim, the same way they systematically eliminate their means of subsistence and exhaust their finances. They have extended workplace psychological harassment to criminal harassment networks, the weaponization of space, different types of radar, and focused ultrasound. They subjugate "turn" "eat" friends and family members, and have them participate to protect themselves from exposure.

British regimes like Canada and hidden dictatorships function through their "secret police", corruption, organized crime "it's not tyranny, it's organized crime", subjugate the population through organized crime, and their charter of rights and freedom is not worth the paper that it is written on. .. . They hide behind organized crime, terrorists, .. , they create justification for what they want, weaken rights and freedoms, etc, .. and they try to hide their motive. In Canada it is to subjugate or degrade the targeted victim, it seems to be the same in Bangladesh, to subjugate, marry, or degrade.

Two countries, Canada and Pakistan, both linked to the UK, both linked to subjugation and control, both linked to destroying health and beauty, "assets", and both linked to an aggressive leadership strategy.

Politics, a major political issue several years ago was Canada's selling Cando nuclear reactors to Pakistan, which they used to aim nuclear missiles at India.

U.S. Gun Debate, Blood Lines - (blog)

Blood lines, alphas, empaths, etc, rumors or intentional misinformation, males are subjugate or degraded for an aggressive "leadership" strategy, control, and hidden dictatorship. Women still not equal in the workplace, the gay community still repressed through hate and rejection.

U.S. Gun Debate, Obesity - (blog)

A blog about super sugar leading to food addictions, affecting the metabolism, leading to obesity and diabetes, which are linked to heart disease and help hide any homicides through focused ultrasound "bursting organs" aka pop the heart.

"The poor are obese because they eat too much and don't exercise enough." I believe sugar and super sugars added to foods along with cheap nutrient depleted foods are the cause of obesity, which helps to hide a control and homicide weapon currently being used in British regimes, focused ultrasound used to target the brain and heart.

Note: Medieval and older regimes concentrate wealth, advocate gun control, disregard their own laws, etc, for control and hidden dictatorships. The success behind the U.S. has been immigration, immigrants escaping tyranny and in pursuit of freedom, civil rights and human rights, capitalism and free markets.
